Company’s 2022 total spent regional split

While the Company’s products and services are sold all over the world, the majority of its supply chain is based in Europe and OECD countries. However, in the past few years, the supply chain has become concentrated and more international. In addition, and due to increasing consolidation within the aerospace and defence sector, larger work packages are being placed with a smaller number of lead suppliers. The Company’s global sourcing footprint is represented as follows based on Tier one suppliers only. To promote further globalisation of its sourcing footprint, the Company has established regional procurement offices in North America (Herndon, VA), India (Bangalore), Asia Pacific (Singapore) and China (Beijing). The regional procurement offices represent the Procurement function in the respective regions. They are responsible for strategic sourcing, general procurement and supplier development (procurement operations) while supporting the application of the Company’s procurement process and policy and digital solutions. As the Company’s commercial aircraft business and its two Divisions are certified ISO 14001, the Procurement function acts in adherence with ISO 14001 requirements. II. Governance The Company’s sustainable supply chain ambition is built on four pillars: “lead the journey towards clean aerospace, respect human rights and foster inclusion, build our business on the foundation of safety and quality, exemplify business integrity”. Derived from this ambition, the Company’s Sustainable Supply Chain Roadmap is based on a three-step approach; supplier

commitment, supplier assessment, supplier engagement & development. The Company strives to make environmental and social responsibility a core element of its procurement strategy. This includes managing the relationships with suppliers throughout the sourcing strategy, supplier selection, contract management and supplier monitoring and development. The Company’s suppliers must comply with all applicable laws and regulations. In addition, all business shall be conducted by suppliers in compliance with the principles of the Company’s Supplier Code of Conduct, which is the document of reference for the Company’s responsible supplier management. This Supplier Code of Conduct integrates the group-wide values and principles in line with internationally recognised standards and conventions (such as OECD and ILO). In order to drive the Sustainable Supply Chain Roadmap (“ SSCR ”), a monthly Steering Committee chaired by the Head of Sustainability & Environment, and the Head of Procurement Governance & Strategy and the representative of the Chief Procurement Officer of the Company is implemented. The Steering Committee includes Chief Procurement Officers of Airbus Helicopters and of Airbus Defence and Space, as well as the Head of Health & Safety, the Head of Product Safety and the Head of Ethics & Compliance, or their nominated representatives. The EVP Communication and Corporate Affairs and the Chief Procurement Officer of the Company act as sponsors of the SSCR. In addition, the Head of Procurement Governance and Strategy is part of the Procurement Leadership Team and is responsible for facilitating the communication on sustainability activities between the SSCR and the Procurement Leadership Team on a regular basis.
